Looking a the CLG's plans following the publication of the 'Future of Building Control' it looks likely there will not be any changes in 2011, possibly not even 2012. The likely changes for 2013 are Part A (structure) following the Eurocode publications and Part C (site preparation resistance to contamination and moisture) from ongoing health risk concerns from Radon Gas. It seems likely we will lose Part D as the offending insulant is not used in cavity walls. Part L and F are part of the 3 yearly cycle to meet the Energy and Climate change Acts. Other areas likely to be consulted upon are Part K (stairways, etc,) Part M (access to dwellings), Part N (glazing)and the effectiveness of Part P (electrical safety)in ways to reduce regulations by competent persons.
We promote our ethos of 'Compliance without Complexity' and welcome comments for discussion.

Hi, I am one of the Building Inspectors Adelaide and was browsing the internet for blogs related to building inspection and I came across yours. Anyway, for smaller work, and with the benefit of an experienced builder, Building Notice applications are often the obvious choice and the majority of work involved is carried out without problems.
